Jump into the thrill of Short Course racing with the Baja 5SC truck from HPI! The Baja 5SC takes the HPI Baja line-up to the next level with a new SC-1 body that gives the Baja 5SC authentic Short Course looks. Adding to the durability and realistic looks is a new skid-plate front bumper and a large rear bumper with real rubber mud flaps. Power comes from a massive 26cc Fuelie engine that propels the Baja 5SC to speeds in excess of 40mph and it runs for more than 45 minutes on a single tank of regular unleaded pump gasoline. For extra traction on any dirt surface, HB Rodeoo tires are now standard equipment, mounted on new TR-10 bead-lock truck wheels. We increased durability with Super Heavy Duty 9mm drive shafts, updated rear hub carriers, and HD front hex hubs. A 2.4GHz radio system is standard equipment for precise control and long distance reception without the hassles of frequency crystals. It's all ready-to-run right out of the box, pre-assembled by our expert crew so you can hit the dirt quickly.

Super Heavy Duty Drive Shafts

All-new extra-thick 9mm dogbones are the starting point of the 5SC
drivetrain upgrade - these are new, thicker and stronger to outlast the
roughest rides and racing action you can find! New wider rubber boots are
included to keep the dirt and mud away.

Super Heavy Duty Diff Shafts

Getting the power from the diff gears to the new dogbones is a wider diff
shaft that perfectly fits the increased diameter of the dogbones.

Super Heavy Duty Drive Axles

Getting the power to the wheels are new Super HD drive axles, which fit
the thicker dogbones.

BAJA 5SC FEATURES:

FUELIE 26 ENGINE
The powerful Fuelie 26 gasoline engine propels the Baja 5SC to speeds
in excess of 40mph. With a dual-element air filter, easy pullstarting
and convenient Torx T-27 screws, it's easy to keep running on standard
pump fuel and 2-cycle engine oil. And best of all, you can run for
more than 45 minutes on a single tank of gas!
VISCOUS TORQUE DIFF
Unique in the world of large-scale racing, the HPI Viscous Torque
Differential gets the power to the rear wheels as smooth as silk. It's
easy to tune with optional diff oils and is fully fitted with hardened
metal gears and an alloy case.
ALL METAL GEAR TRANSMISSION
From the input shaft and idler gear to the alloy-encased differential,
every gear inside the sturdy Baja 5SC transmission is made from
long-life alloy to keep your truck running all day long with minimal
maintenance.
8,000 RPM CLUTCH
Standard on the Baja 5SC, this lightweight racing clutch combined with
the heavy duty spring gives the 5SC a powerful launch at high RPMs for
faster acceleration!
LONG TRAVEL SUSPENSION
The awesome Baja suspension really comes into its own with long-stroke
VVC/HD shock absorbers and high-sidewall truck tires, letting the
tires do their business whether you're driving over rutted-out whoops
or flying over a big tabletop!
HEAVY DUTY SHOCK ABSORBERS
VVC/HD shocks deliver improved handling over rough terrain and feature
large 6mm diameter shock shafts for increased durability. Threaded
shock bodies are used for easy adjustment of ride height.
DUAL VENTED DISC BRAKES
Steel/aluminum hybrid brake rotors and semi-metallic brake pads handle
braking duties, while a special venting system keeps the brakes cool
for consistent stopping power.
LARGE 700cc FUEL TANK
For runtimes of up to 45 minutes, the Baja 5SC fuel tank holds up to
700cc of pre-mixed fuel - that's over half a liter! And just in case
you clip a track barrier and flip over, the tank is equipped with a
'clunk' device that allows the engine to continue running even if the
truck is resting on its roof.
SFL-11MG SERVO
The hi-torque SFL-11MG servo features extra tough all metal gears for
durability, an aluminum steering arm and a water resistant case.
SEALED RADIO BOX
An enclosed radio box keeps water and dirt away from the 2.4GHz
receiver and receiver battery. The on/off switch and recharging jack
are sealed with soft rubber plugs for additional protection. To keep
up with those long runtimes, a high capacity, long lasting, 3000mAh
Ni-MH rechargeable receiver pack comes standard from the factory. It
comes prewired with a separate charging lead for easy access charging
with the included wall charger for that ultimate all-in-one package!
DIRT GUARDS
The Baja 5SC has full-length dirt guards to keep mud, rocks and water
out of the main chassis area. The guards continue all the way to the
engine and help keep cleaning time to a minimum. And, mud flaps on the
rear bumper add to the realistic Short Course appearance.
